Yunyun is the only daughter in her family, and her parents are always very worried about her suddenly going to university so far away.
Actually, when Yunyun was filling out her college application, her family all wanted her to apply to universities within the province, so that she could go home on weekends since they were close by.
But Yunyun felt that she had always been with her family since she was a child, and wanted to go further and see the world, so she rebelled and secretly filled in her college application for a different city.
When the acceptance letter arrived, Yunyun was overjoyed, but her parents and grandmother were extremely worried.
They were initially happy that their child got into a good university, but the thought of their child, who rarely left home, suddenly going so far away turned into worry.
Since Yunyun started school, she has to call home every few days to report on her situation.
She doesn't have a cell phone; she uses a purchased SIM card, which is cheaper for making calls.
Actually, after she got into university, her parents planned to buy her a cell phone, but Yunyun didn't want it.
Back then, my father's workplace was in bad shape and faced bankruptcy. He gritted his teeth and took tens of thousands of yuan in compensation to be laid off.
Later, her parents used the compensation money to open a fruit shop. They worked very hard every day, so Yunyun felt that it was better to save money wherever possible.
Although her family's financial situation was not as good as many of her classmates', Yunyun did not feel inferior to others. She was optimistic by nature and had many hobbies.
For example, she's willing to come all the way to listen to a lecture she doesn't really understand just to catch a glimpse of a handsome guy; she's always full of interest in life.
After Sanwa finished his speech and answered the questions, today's event came to an end.
Even after he left, some students still wanted his autograph.
This is also a trend that has emerged in recent years, with some people following singers and movie stars.
However, there aren't many celebrities who ask non-celebrity people for autographs.
However, these students' wishes were not fulfilled because the school leaders were afraid that if they started this trend, too many students would follow suit and ask for autographs, so they stopped Sanwa and took him away.
The school leaders considered the speech to be a great success.
They also wanted to invite the three kids to dinner later to further their conversation.
Actually, they wanted to take advantage of their proximity to the school and see if they could hire Sanwa for some school positions, even if he just taught a few classes occasionally.
Sanwa declined the invitation to dinner, but did not immediately refuse the lecture, saying he needed to think about it.
Seeing that there was a chance, the school leaders were very happy and said they would definitely wait for his reply.
Finally free from the enthusiastic leaders, Sanwa breathed a sigh of relief and took a taxi home.
Because he had taken half a day off from the research institute, he didn't need to go back to work even though there was still some time before the end of the workday.
Moreover, giving speeches and answering questions is quite mentally taxing, and he wants to go home and rest.
As soon as he got back, he found his mother had just finished baking some delicious desserts, and his taste buds were treated to a treat.
When asked how the speech went, the third child proudly replied, "Mom, do you think I ever messed up?"
That's true. From childhood to adulthood, my youngest son doesn't seem to have messed up anything. He's been very clever since he was little, but he's also very lazy.
At school, after listening to the speech, Yunyun went to attend a large lecture before the afternoon activities ended.
After finishing her meal, the first thing she did upon returning home was to take the phone card and call home.
Yunyun can make even the smallest everyday things sound interesting.
What happened today was quite interesting, which made her even more enthusiastic as she recounted it.
Meeting a genius scientist, who is also a handsome fellow townsman, how could you not share such a wonderful opportunity with your family?
Her family didn't know that such a prominent figure had emerged from their hometown, but they were happy for her and encouraged Yunyun to study hard and become a successful person like Sanwa in the future.
Um, a genius scientist? She couldn't achieve that even if she tried her hardest. She should shine in another field.
Sanwa is now used to talking with his parents during dinner. After all, he is mostly at work during the day, so this is the only time the family can have a proper chat.
He also mentioned that a university wanted to hire him as a visiting professor.
“This is a good thing,” Li Huai said directly.
Zhao Qinglan picked up a piece of food and put it in her husband's bowl, and Li Huai immediately stopped eating.
"If you feel you have extra energy besides your work at the research institute, then agree; if you feel tired, then don't."
Their family doesn't need their youngest son to earn money to support the family, nor do they expect him to gain any fame.
Her son suddenly returned to China and chose to work here. Even if she didn't say anything, she wasn't stupid; her son had made sacrifices for them.
Their son is already so considerate; would they really want to see him live an even more tiring life?
If her son hadn't insisted on eating lunch in the cafeteria, she would have preferred to bring him his food.
Li Huai, who also eats lunch at the cafeteria instead of going home for lunch, felt a pang of jealousy after learning about his wife's thoughts.
When he wasn't home, his wife didn't insist on bringing him food.
When his son comes home, he, as the father, has to take a backseat. Sigh, my heart aches.
Sanwa, however, would never let his mother work so hard cooking for him every day and bringing him food, so he firmly refused, which dispelled Zhao Qinglan's idea.
"My work at the research institute is quite easy; I only have to give a few lectures each month without any problem."
“Then let’s go.” Zhao Qinglan immediately agreed.
Since her son thinks it's okay, she still hopes he will go to places with lots of young people more often.
Of course, if Sanwa wants to work part-time as a visiting professor, he also needs to report to the institute's leadership.
After hearing his explanation that he would only be giving a few lectures each month and it wouldn't interfere with the normal work of the research institute, the leaders discussed it briefly and approved it.
